I run my business from No. 45/A on 5th Cross in Banashankari 1st Stage. It’s a regular residential area, tucked away in the 3rd A Main street. If you know where the Vidyapeetha Circle is, I’m just a short walk from there in the Vinayaka Nagar area. It's a small place, mostly just a room where I keep my files and meet people who need my help. I’ve lived and worked in this part of Bangalore for a long time now. My work involves a lot of personal coordination and being on the move throughout the day. I don't have a fancy office with a big glowing sign or anything like that; it’s more of a local setup where neighbors and friends stop by when they need something done. Most days I’m out on the road visiting different sites or meeting people in local cafes to discuss projects. When I am actually at the office, I’m usually caught up in phone calls or sorting through piles of documents. It can get a bit cluttered with papers and old notes, but I know where everything is. The neighborhood is mostly quiet, which I really like. There’s a tea shop just around the corner where I spend a lot of my time talking to clients and catching up on news. It’s a very informal way of doing things, but it’s worked for me for years. I don’t believe in making things more complicated than they need to be. I just take things as they come and try to finish the work.
